    Clinical evaluation was made on cephalexin and ampicillin by double blind method in patients with non-obstructive acute pyelonephritis whose isolated organisms were mostly Escherichia coli.
    Treatment regimens of the drugs were ampicillin 2 g daily and cephalexin 1 g and 2 g daily for the period of 1 week and 2 weeks respectively.
    Clinical effectiveness in each treatment regimen was as follows :
    The effectiveness was 46% with ampicillin 2 g daily and 86% with 1 g daily and 89% with 2 g daily of cephalexin for 1 week therapy, and 68% with ampicillin 2 g daily and 88% with 1 g daily and 63% with 2 g daily for 2 weeks therapy.
    Relapse was observed after withdrawal of therapy in each 1 case with ampicillin 2 g daily for 1 week group and cephalexin 1 g daily for 2 weeks group.
    No severe side effect was observed in this study excepting 2 cases of gastrointestinal disturbance in ampicillin group.
    A tentative proposal was made on the criteria for evaluating clinical response of chemotherapy.

    To establish an advanced screening method to find less toxic antitumor agents, the effect of several purine analogues on the biosynthesis of protein and nucleic acids in various cell-lines was investigated.Mitomycin-C, Iododeoxyuridine and Cycloheximide inhibited either of malignant cells and non-malignant cells, while 6-Mercaptopurine, 6-Mercaptopurine riboside, Thioguanosine and Bis (6-Mercaptopurine ribosibe) compound inhibited remarkably the biosynthesis of nucleic acids in malignant cells, but fairly that of non-malignant cells. These findings suggest that such an in vitro screening system may be useful to find less toxic antitumor agents.

  • The Relationship between the Tumor-specificity of 6-Mercaptopurine and its Penetration into Cells

    The penetration of 14C-6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) into cells was investigated. In Hep. No. 2 cells, the penetration rate of 6-MP was remarkably higher than that in chick embryo fibroblast cells. The nucleic acid synthesis of the former cells was more sensitive on 6-MP than that of the latter cells. Between the passaged and strained cells tested, the penetration rate in MDBK cells was higher than that in L cells.

    One hundred nucleic acid analogues were screened as to their effect on the synthesis of DNA and RNA in either of tumor cells and non-tumor cells. Among 100 compounds, 6 analogues were found to be inhibitory selectively on the biosynthesis of nucleic acids of tumor cells.
